MONEY RECOVERED.

The Arrest Of "Jim Cummings" Results In
the Recovery Of Much OF the Stolen
Money.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec. 30-When the
train from Leavenworth pulled into the
Union Depot yesterday morning, attached
to it was special car containing none other
than Fred Whitrock, alias "Jim Cummings"
the principal in the Adams Express rob
berry on the Frisco road, accompanied by
Robert Pinkerton and several Of his detec-
tives. Few of the curious crowd who as
sembled at the depot were aware Of this
fact, and the party had departed for Atchi-
son before hardly any one was aware OF
their identity. Some hours later, on the
evening train in fact, the party returned to
Kansas City, and Jim Cummings" was
placed in q hack and driven to the Office OF
the Adams Express Company, where he re-
manned in the custody Of detectives until
about one o'clock this morning, when he
was removed to the st. James Hotel.
While Whitrock, accompanied by Pink
erton was in Atchison, where $1,000 OF the
stolen money was recovered, detectives In
Kansas City were not idle, for from con-
fession made by Whitrock they were en-
abled to locate 81, 800 Of the express money
buried in spot not far from the distillery
and secured it all
Actingon information furnished by Oscar
Cook, members Of Pinkerton's force re-
paired to the East Bottoms yesterday and
visited the house occupied by Cook and his
family After a careful search OF the
premises the detectives discovered nothing,
but on searching several hundred yards
from the house, bundle Of the ':swag"
was found. The roll amounted to nearly
$1,000, and is portion Of Cooks share OF
the booty. The money was brought up
town and late last evening another search
was made, but without success, no more
money being found. 1t is supposed that
several thousand dollars are still concealed
in this city.
